E-drug: Cochrane Collaboration Colloquium
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
25-29 October 2000
Cape Town, South Africa
EVIDENCE FOR ACTION
The Cochrane Collaboration invites all health care providers, policy
makers, educators, consumers, researchers and the health care indus-
try to its eighth international colloquium.
Interactive sessions will focus on challenges that are unfolding as
the Cochrane Collaboration pursues its goal of preparing, updating
and disseminating systematic reviews of the effects of health care
interventions. The implications of evidence from Cochrane reviews for
health care practice, policy and research will also be considered.
Case studies will provide a backdrop for discussions and priority
topics will include Tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, Malaria, Pregnancy and
Childbirth, Tobacco Addiction and Heart Disease. Training in the
methods of systematic review and meta-analysis will be provided at
both beginner and advanced levels.
